My first response to dropping Open Suse was anger. But I've finally settled down to knowing I have some hard decisions to make and a buttload of work no matter what decision I make. Had I stuck with my proprietary solution I was originally using this would not be the case.
I gave FOSS a shot and it has been very costly time wise. With 400 desktops, 100 branch offices plus a home office to manage I don't have the time to put forth managing a product that will be dropping support for distro's they supported in the past.
Mike's links to migration are interesting and I'll probably run with the version of Zimbra I have now until I make a decision. Then again, with the number of bugs that keep popping up with each release, and they appear to be numerous, I haven't upgraded in a while and maybe 6 will be so buggy that I don't wabt to go there anyway.
Who knows. The whole situation is frustrating. |
